Nissan is recalling a number of models to fix a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system.
Included in the recall are:
| Vehicle Make Infiniti Infinti Nissan Nissan Nissan | Model M35 M45 Cube Murano Rogue | Model Year 2008-2010 2008-2010 2009 2009 2008 |
The recall affects vehicles sold or registered in the following states:
CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WASHINGTON D.C., WEST VIRGINIA AND WISCONSIN.
The company said material used to secure the tire pressure sensor may corrode and crack in areas with heavy concentrations of road salt. That could cause the tire pressure light to illuminate in error. If the light is disregarded, drivers may not be aware of dangerously low tire pressure.
Dealers will replace the part when the recall begins in November. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 and Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.
Consumers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or at www.safercar.gov.
